HUSH...HUSH...

It's time for silence, memories and, possibly, a smile to remember

AND WHEN EVENING COMES, I THINK

She Walks in Beauty

BY LORD BYRON (GEORGE GORDON)
She walks in beauty, like the night
   Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
   Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
   Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
   Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
   Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
   How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
   So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
   But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
   A heart whose love is innocent!

AND WHEN EVENING COMES, I THINK...

..of the most lovely and lovable and loving woman I ever met.
Forever young.

PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE WEEK: SAM HASKINS

His site (in case you want to know and see more of him and his work) is HERE but you can find more HERE too (as well as in Google Image).
I guess I'm a little biased when it comes to this artist. There's a deep vein of irony and sensuality throughout his work.
But really, doesn't he make people look gorgeous, interesting, individually special ?
I love each single shot of his that I could view.












CASUAL FRIDAY: THE WHITE SHIRT

There's Friday morning

There's Friday evening
In the evening, there's nothing better than a lengthy, forgetful shower
And then, a fresh white shirt (and nothing else)
A glass of red or bubbling wine

And oblivion of all silly everyday's problems

In the evening, it's all about oneself, what was lost and what remains

AND WHEN EVENING COMES, I THINK...

...of a lovely woman so vibrant with life.
So full of love, passion and compassion.
So curious about all things.
So sure of Herself and of what's right and wrong in this world.
I never met anyone like Her.
An old video from one of Sole's favourite composers-singers-players: Michel Legrand: "I will wait for you" in a perfect mix of French music and jazz
Sit in your armchair.
Have a drink.
Enjoy your memories and this wonderful music
This was the original version with a very young Catherine Deneuve (who recently celebrated a glorious 70th birthday) and Nino Castelnuovo

AND WHEN EVENING COMES, I THINK...

...there's such a cold emptiness in my world without You, my Sole.

PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE WEEK: OLEG MAIDAKOV

His site HERE will give you a hint of his art.
I find him very elegant, particularly in his portaits where he cleverly plays with lights and shadows.
